It has gas, the #15FL fuse was blown, so I replaced the ECM. Now that fuse stop blowing. It has spark and fuel. The wiring seems ok. I just replaced the Alternator, a couple of weeks ago and the battery checks good. The fuel, squirts out find from the Schrader valve, located on top (passenger side).

While this does not confirm you have enough fuel pressure to run the engine but let's move onto spark.

So, crank the engine and check for spark and let's see what we have.

I suspect you are not going to have spark. If that is the case, then the likely cause is a faulty crank sensor.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this:

Below is the info to replace this for both the 6- and 8-cylinder options.

Please run through this and let us know what you find. Thanks
